Jan Update...
Last two weeks…..
- Met up with a lady friend I met a year ago for dinner. Dinner plans started off rough but worked out at the end. Broke the news to her few days later after she text wanting to “date” seriously.
- Met up with NP in LA. Hung out at The Grove. Watched the Lakers game at a lounge and had dinner. Spent a few hours after drinking coffee and etc… She finally...
dreams sink to reality
there are dreams filled with hope and joy…..
wake up to realize the reality sinks in and the girl of your dreams is already engaged to someone else….

2011 Year End
As some or all reflect the past year, we think about what events have occurred or the accomplishments in our personal life. Reviewing the 2011 goals, completed 9 out of 23 goals —> 39% accomplished.
Perhaps I could have accomplished more. One thing learned this year, never have the idea of “relationship” overwhelm the mind or primary focus. The mindset ought to be working...
1 year later...
On Friday morning, my manager, team lead, and myself reflect for a moment the course of the past 12 months during my self-review.
Not quite sure many knew but a year ago, I was on the verge of being terminated from work. Possibly the worse feeling ever a person can feel. I cannot describe in words the vivid situation sitting 3 months prior getting written up for what I felt is beyond my...
Singles Night...
So after a few weeks talking to one of my co-workers, I decided to check out “Drive” for 20s and 30s (singles) at Mariners Church in Irvine.
The church is 2nd largest in Orange County behind Saddleback. With that said, I realize why I feel more appreciate belonging to a small church. For once, I understand how a newcomer feels entering a church.
Nonetheless, I decided to randomly...

missed opportunity...
Back to the gym post Thanksgiving…happy to de-stress from work especially the past two days….
Nonetheless, I feel jumping off a cliff after a missed opportunity with a random asian chick at Target earlier tonight…..
1) Could have jokingly said something when she dropped the windshield wiper after she dropped it not once but twice.
2) As I was putting my stuff in the trunk, I...
Exhausted
After a crazy few days in Vegas,fly back in time for Pacquaio, church, racing back to OC to kick off another season of basketball and arriving late 10 mins into the 1st half (8pts, 1 steal, 2 assists, 2 rebounds) but we fell short of a win.
I’m exhausted….

We die to live another day
On Friday night, I got a first-hand, on-the-spot lesson of the DOs and DONT’S on making the first move.
1) Actually make a move 2) Be friendly 3) A married person can still aid/support you as a wingman for meeting women when you don’t ask your buddy about his wife and kid(s). Long story short, I met and had sushi with BJ dinner on Friday night. There was a prime opportunity to do what...

November 2011
This is going to be one memorable month to plan and remember…definitely excited for my cuz and being part of something special.
- Bach party - Being a witness to another Vegas wedding - Bringing a date (not a hoe my cuz says)
There are no words I can say to describe how I’m feeling…
blessed
After a week-long push of finding new place, I found a new home for the next 7 months in the OC. Hopefully longer….
I asked my co-workers if any of them are looking for a new place to share an apartment; checked places on craigslist everyday for the past week; checked out apartments. Based on the monthly for apartments, I knew my search had to primarily focus on rooms for rent for the...
Change of events.... / Quitting Facebook - Part 2
1) Narrowing down the search for a new place 2) Turn of events over the past few weeks slimmed my “list” from 6 to 1 3) Turn of events over the past 24 hours changed my “list” from the one and only 1 to someone totally new. 4) I can’t wait till my days off on 9/21-9/23 (into the weekend). 5) Deactivating my FB account 5 days ago definitely puts life and time in...
Quitting Facebook - Part 1
I have decided to momentarily deactivate Facebook to devote more time in personal things. We’ll see how this goes…
Day 1 - Apartment Hunting
The roommates broke the news to me last night that they’ll both be moving out of the house. I have 1 month to find a new place to live.
With that said, picked a few spots from online and drove through the streets of OC and jot down apartments for rent on the pass-by toward the two spots located in Northern OC.
Anaheim - Location (Bad) - Price (50/50) Anaheim Hills - Location (OK) - Price...

self-resolve
There are countless times of conversations I’ve had with friends, family, and acquaintances where each individual is in search of happiness, reached a point of happiness, or have reminiscing moments from the past of being in the state of happiness.
I believe we lose a sense of true happiness when we seek solely on people. We fail to self evaluate our definition of happiness by not setting...

Spontaneity
Sooo…..
I’m heading to Vegas once again this weekend after work tomorrow after an invite this morning from NP and my crazy cuz. Staying off the strip due to last minute hotel booking….. Besides paying for gas and splitting the room with 3 ppl. Practically a free weekend of entertainment…. ROUND 2 DING DING DING…..
I feel the need to disorient the low alcohol...
The past...
I was watching a show earlier tonight which reminded me something from my past. Lead me to reading my old Xanga blog entries which I realize they come by far and in between of what I write now on Tumblr.
Sadly, I do miss writing in Xanga and for that matter LiveJournal. Each had its own life discrepancies and experiences of its own. I think about what I have accomplished as a person since...

“I feel like I’ll need a liver transplant in no time….”
I was jogging with Kimba this morning when I saw afar a black Lab and the owner on the other side of the street.
The black lab was not leashed up and ran toward us. Thankfully the lab was a playful type and was jumping atop of Kimba.
The owner ran over and apologized for her dog. I noticed her being cute. To my amusement, she was wearing some interesting ear-muffs.
We talked about our pups a...
